My GF has one so I get to drive it often in the snow and around the brug. The only thing going for it is very good visibilty when backing up and it is roomy inside. But it is a truck-like CUV with hardly any refinement compared to my Encore. Plus it sucks half it's down inbetween changes. So part of the time it is running low on oil.
I wasn't impressed with Subaru's AWD vs my Encore AWD. The Suby spent more time rotating on it's axis than going forward. Which is fun for scaring her but does not aid in forward progress in the snow. My Encore AWD takes whatever steering you give and goes that direction with no antics. Sure the Encore is smaller and with a Trifecta Tune is much quicker is a hoot to drive at only 3300-3400 lbs. If I'm with her when her lease is up she will not be buying another Forester.
